ACCT (Send Account Information)

 

Some systems require account information to enable certain system functions. The remote system prompts you for such information. The ACCT i5/OS® FTP client subcommand sends a user's account information to a remote system.

 

FTP client subcommand

ACCT account-information

account-information

A string that identifies the user's account. Account information can take the form of a password that the host system uses to grant privileges. This password is not your user password, but rather it is a password on the remote system.

For example, TCP/IP on the IBM® Virtual Machine (VM) operating system might require a password for read and write access to minidisks. Use the ACCT subcommand to supply a password for the minidisk of the current directory. If the remote system is a System i™ product, the ACCT subcommand performs no operation.
